Issued at 901 PM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Axis of the upper level ridge sits directly overhead of the Four
State Region this evening as upper level cirrus flows eastward
across east Texas, embedded in the upper ascent across central
Texas. This will prevail some cloud coverage through the overnight 
as temperatures have fallen into the mid to upper 70's. Little to 
no adjustments needed in this update outside of adjusting hourlies
to match latest trends and removing some low end PoPs over the
next hour or so.
